<div style="text-align: left;">
If there's one constant about what moves men and women it is fear.<br />
<br />
Fear of the gods and fear of Achilles' anger was the basis of <i>The Illiad</i>. The Old Testament of the Bible features a God that is vengeful and is to be feared by his believers. The Gothic tales of <i>Frankenstein</i>, <i>Dracula</i>, and <i>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i> all trade on our fears—real or imagined.<br />
<br />
The Sherlock Holmes stories as a whole are classified as mysteries, and a number of them contain elements of fear as part of the plot. From the Avenging Angels of <i>A Study in Scarlet</i> to the savage Tonga in <i>The Sign of Four</i>, we're introduced to unknown and unfamiliar elements, making us unsure and afraid.<br />
<br />
By the time we reach the short stories, there are plenty of things to fear: the unseen hand of the KKK in "The Five Orange Pips," Jephro Rucastle's hardened grin of rage and threat to throw Miss Hunter to the mastiff in "The Copper Beeches," and the hostage situation at The Myrtles in "The Greek Interpreter," to name a few.<br />
<br />
Conan Doyle had a way with words, and from the descriptions of houses to the settings of nature, he was able to effectively make us feel just as terrified as his characters.<br />
<br />
Take this scene in "The Speckled Band" with this exchange between Sherlock Holmes and Helen Stoner:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I am glad to see that Mrs. Hudson has had the good sense to light the fire. Pray draw up to it, and I shall order you a cup of hot coffee, for I observe that you are shivering.”<br />
“It is not cold which makes me shiver,” said the woman in a low voice, changing her seat as requested.<br />
“What, then?”<br />
“It is fear, Mr. Holmes. It is terror.”</blockquote>
And you must be made of stone if the hair on the back of your neck didn't rise at this exchange in <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“He said that there were no traces upon the ground round the body. He did not observe any. But I did—some little distance off, but fresh and clear.”<br />
“Footprints?”<br />
“Footprints.”<br />
“A man’s or a woman’s?”<br />
Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered:—<br />
“Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!”</blockquote>
Other stories based on fear, terror, and dread of the unknown that immediately spring to mind: "Wisteria Lodge," "The Sussex Vampire," "The Blanched Soldier," "The Devil's Foot," and "The Creeping Man."<br />
<br />
Oh, and let's not forget an entire novel called <i>The Valley of Fear</i>.<br />
<br />
Perhaps you have others to name.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, let's see just what it is that's scaring the boys at Baker Street Elementary...<br />

Doyle's Detective Honored Again

<br />
Award season is upon us  and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous literary characters have, as has been the case during the past decade, been recognized once again as icons in cinematic popular culture.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From the 2010 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award">Golden Globe Award </a>winner in Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical (<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000375?ref_=ttawd_awd_3">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) and Teen Choice Awards winner Choice Movie Actress: Action Adventure (<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1046097?ref_=ttawd_awd_31">Rachel McAdams</a>), to the many <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Academy_Television_Awards">BAFTA</a>s, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critics%27_Choice_Television_Award">Critics' Choice Television Awards </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Award">Emmys</a> for which the BBC's <i>Sherlock</i> has been nominated and won, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and other Canonical figures remain bright in the public eye.<br />
<br />
This year is no different as Doyle's distinguished detective duo are in prominent company. Their peers include Melissa McCarthy, Helen Mirren, Amanda Seyfried, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, and President Donald J. Trump. They're all nominees for the 2019 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Raspberry_Awards">Razzie Awards</a>.<br />
<br />
The list of the Sherlockian-relevant <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/razzie-awards-2019-nominations-complete-list-nominees-1172272/item/worst-picture-1172535?fbclid=IwAR2QVIKRIwKAmqHxAVOVQ09kUpcAuf5LIHovfXC26D44adupBwTaowlC0nc">nominations</a> are as follows:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Worst Picture </h4>
<div>
<i>Holmes & Watson</i><br />
<br />
<h4>
 Worst Actor</h4>
</div>
<div>
Will Ferrell / <i>Holmes & Watson</i></div>
<div>
Johnny Depp (Voice Only) / <i>Sherlock Gnomes</i><br />
<br />
<h4>
 Worst Supporting Actor</h4>
</div>
<div>
John C. Reilly / <i>Holmes & Watson</i>. <br />
<br />
<h4>
Worst Screen Combo </h4>
</div>
<div>
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly (<i>Trashing Two of Literature’s Most Beloved Characters</i>) / <i>Holmes & Watson</i></div>
<div>
Johnny Depp & His Fast-Fading Film Career (<i>He’s doing voices for cartoons, fer kripesakes!</i>) / <i>Sherlock Gnomes</i><br />
<br />
<h4>
Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel</h4>
</div>
<div>
<i>Holmes & Watson</i><br />
<br />
<h4>
 Worst Director</h4>
</div>
<div>
Etan Cohen / <i>Holmes & Watson</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Neither Rebecca Hall nor Lauren Lapkus were nominated in the the Worst Actress/Worst Supporting Actress catagory, as they actually acquitted themselves admirably in the otherwise poorly written roles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But that leads us to wonder why Etan Cohan wasn't nominated for Worst Screenplay. Surely the competition was not that tight. Putting Queen Victoria on board the <i>Titanic</i> alone should have earned the script a place in top five, never mind the revolting (and not in a funny way) take on the pottery scene from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj195VJWJIE"><i>Ghost</i></a> between Drs. Hart and Watson in the morgue.<br />
<br />
Sadly, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0252230/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1">Chiwetel Ejiofor</a> did not receive any nominations for his Dr. Watson in Sherlock Gnomes but maybe next time! (Fingers crossed for <i>Sherlock Gnomes 2</i>!)<br />
<br />
Congratulations to all the nominees in keeping Sherlock Holmes and John Watson evergreen in popular culture. Any year that has two major Sherlock Holmes films released and garnering awards is a banner year for the Sherlockian hobby and I hope that 2019 does not disappoint.</div>
<div>

<br />
Remember that time when the creator of Sherlock Holmes <a href="http://shoso.ninja-web.net/Shoso-inBulletin/vol5BLAU.html">played golf with Rudyard Kipling</a>, spent an afternoon drinking with Indiana's greatest poet, and lost a collar-button moments before he had to go on stage?<br />
<br />
Not all on the same day, of course, but all during the same ten-week adventure, Arthur Conan Doyle's 1894 lecture tour of North America. It came just months after Holmes's supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, and at every stop, from Brattleboro to Milwaukee, Conan Doyle faced eager questions from reporters and the public: <b><i>will there ever be more Sherlock Holmes stories for us?</i></b><br />
<br />
In a free-for-all environment without copyright protection, American publishers had already started pirating ACD's early books, and after the tour they came out with <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2017/11/episode-133-sherlock-holmes-collection.html#.XEEwHFxKjb0">dozens more editions</a>, especially of <i>The Sign of the Four</i>.<br />
<br />
Quite possibly these cheap editions, rife with typographical errors, and the publicity Conan Doyle generated during and after his tour did as much to make the detective a permanent giant of popular culture as did William Gillette's play five years later.<br />
<br />
Because Conan Doyle lectured almost every night in a different city, Sherlockians across a quarter of the continent have a chance to stand where the great man once stood: New York, of course, and New Rochelle; Toronto and Niagara Falls; Philadelphia and Baltimore; Cincinnati and Toledo. One city at least already has a plaque marking Conan Doyle's stop there: Indianapolis, where the Illustrious Clients erected it in 1994.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
The tour ran from early October to early December 1894, which means that its 125th anniversary will arrive in a few months, and there are ample opportunities for quasquicentenary celebrations.<br />
<br />
More than 30 years ago, using detailed research in newspaper files and other contemporary sources, I reconstructed the day-to-day story of Conan Doyle's 1894 tour in the book <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Welcome-America-Mr-Sherlock-Holmes/dp/0889241848">Welcome to America, Mr. Sherlock Holmes</a></i>, which was published in 1987 by Dundurn Press of Toronto. It was pleasantly received by Conan Doyle scholars at the time, but it has long been out of print.<br />
<br />
I'm delighted to announce that <i>Welcome to America</i> is about to appear in a new edition published by <a href="http://wildsidepress.com/authors-r/redmond-christopher/">Wildside Press</a>. The 1987 chapters will be unchanged, as will the extensive source notes, and the reconstructed text of "Readings and Reminiscences," the lecture Conan Doyle gave to audiences in town after town.<br />
<br />
There will be a new introduction pointing to some of the research that has been done since 1987 adding to scholars' knowledge of the 1894 tour, but that new material is not my work and will not be incorporated into the main narrative. I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere readers <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2017/06/grave-matters.html">have already learned about one chapter</a> in the book that needs correcting, the one describing Conan Doyle's visit to the grave of Edgar Allan Poe — a touching incident that probably never took place.<br />
<br />
Please watch for announcements about <i>Welcome to America</i>, and look forward to reading about Conan Doyle's partying with the young athletes of Toledo, his testy remarks about anti-British sentiment in parts of the United States, his visit to Cooper's Cave at Glens Falls, and the six-year-old who whacked him in the head with a stuffed toy.<br />

With our first episode of 2019, we're pleased to welcome fellow podcasters Jeremy Latour and Arielle Lipshaw, hosts of <a href="http://adaptorperishcast.com/">Adapt or Perish</a>. They came to our attention because of a couple of episodes they did on Sherlock Holmes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Jeremy and Arielle have a process they follow, complete with a quadrant, to help make sense of their assessments of how literary works are adapted from medium to medium. They have a good sense as to what works and what doesn't, and are prepared to defend their rankings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They reviewed their Sherlock Holmes and Hound of the Baskervilles episodes with us, and provided a preview to the very next Sherlock Holmes-themed show they have planned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
We have a new segment that we're debuting in 2019: "As We Go to Press" with Mattias Boström, co-editor of the <a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/newspaper4.html"><i>Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle in the Newspapers</i></a> series. Toward the end of the episode, you'll find the latest <b>Canonical Couplet</b>. See if you can figure out the story we're referring to, and you might win a prize.<br />

The Baker Street Irregulars Weekend is just wrapping up in New York, where the Irregulars and other Sherlockians have spent eating and drinking their way through Midtown.<br />
<br />
Each year, we gather to celebrate the birthday of Sherlock Holmes, which traditionally has been marked as January 6. But it leads us to wonder: would Sherlock Holmes have celebrated his own birthday?<br />
<br />
The master logician, to whom things like roses were not a necessity, but an extra, might not have believed that the anniversary of his own existence was something that needed celebrating. However, in his days at Baker Street Elementary, you can rest assured that he hadn't yet matured into the 20-something that he was when he and Watson first met...<br />

<br />
Those who have been around our site for some time know that we have a show on which we interview notable Sherlockians. It's called I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere (go figure!) and it's like <i><a href="https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/" target="_blank">Fresh Air</a></i> for Sherlock Holmes fans.<br />
<br />
We release two interview episodes each month, on the 15th and 30th, and since our <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose01" target="_blank">very first episode</a> in June 2007, we've made it available on traditional podcast outlets. This initially included only <a href="http://bit.ly/ihearofsherlock" target="_blank">iTunes</a>, but over the years has expanded to pretty much wherever you can get podcasts, namely: <a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL2loZWFyb2ZzaGVybG9jay5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw%3D%3D">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://play.radiopublic.com/i-hear-of-sherlock-everywhere-WRjkZW">RadioPublic</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/ihearofsherlock">Soundcloud</a>, <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/i-hear-of-sherlock-everywhere?refid=stpr">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-I-Hear-of-Sherlock-Everywh-27577121/">iHeartRadio</a> and <a href="http://www.spreaker.com/user/ihearofsherlock">Spreaker</a>.<br />
<br />
Today we're pleased to share that I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere is now available on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/30WtRn1mnXfAtX7YaeRY5Y?si=0z1oIxvsT8-FZUhLFoYFmg" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.<br />
<br />
Previously, we were prevented from being on this platform because our show didn't air frequently enough. The guidelines indicated that shows needed to daily or weekly to be considered for Spotify. Which meant that our other show, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6SF8y5sXSfWPBnH2W7WmKc?si=bg7M8Xb2TGW6VR5aeWwowQ" target="_blank">Trifles</a>, a weekly discussion of elements in the Sherlock Holmes stories, was immediately accepted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Thanks to our hosting site Libsyn, who made the integration possible, you're now able to stream or download our main <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/30WtRn1mnXfAtX7YaeRY5Y?si=dXJviaw5Q2uqPzkEM7sI_Q" target="_blank">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere show on Spotify</a>.<br />
<br />
You can get to it by clicking on the link above, or via the embedded playlist below.<br />

<br />
<br />
We hear from listeners from all over the world who have different ways of listening to the show: directly from the website, downloaded to a device, via a link, on a embedded player, on various podcast platforms. Our goal is to be everywhere and allow our fans to listen in whatever ways make sense for them.<br />
<br />
We hope you'll enjoy our programming and share the news with those who'll find it useful.<br />

<br />
Over the course of the holiday season, some watchers on Facebook may have seen images of an I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere mug pop up from time to time.<br />
<br />
These were gifts from the creators of the show to our patrons from 2018 who supported the show to a certain level throughout the year.<br />
<br />
Because of how well they were received, we decided to create a more formal set of tiers for our supporters so you can help keep this site and the shows (both <a href="http://ihose.co/ihoseshows" target="_blank">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere</a> and <a href="http://sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">Trifles</a>) going.<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots from some satisfied patrons:<br />

The generous support from listeners and readers helps us to pay for things like: website hosting fees, email distribution, sound file hosting, advertising, equipment replacement, software, music and sound effects, research, interview costs, transcripts, and so on.<br />
<br />
The show has been a hobby for Burt and Scott since July of 2007 (the site for Scott since August of 2005), and they have self-funded it, along with the help of sponsors like <a href="http://wessexpress.com/" target="_blank">Wessex Press</a> and <i><a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/the-baker-street-journal/" target="_blank">The Baker Street Journal</a></i>.<br />
<br />
But it's readers and listeners like you who really make it possible. And we wanted to show you how much we appreciate it.<br />
<br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
Today is January 6th and that marks the date on which we traditionally celebrate Sherlock Holmes's birthday.<br />
<br />
We say "traditionally," because there is no definitive statement of his actual date of birth in the Canon, but beginning with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Morley">Christopher Morley</a>, the date of January 6th has become the de facto accepted date for Holmes' birthday. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons.<br />
<br />
Of all of the quotes in the Canon, William Shakespeare was the most oft-quoted author. There is but one Shakespearean play that Holmes quotes twice: <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743482778?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0743482778">Twelfth Night</a><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjsc-CslxTjCdXUIIrP1JjtSbrOuVqbQY4wmPXHv0-mQ3lat6DMqDTNXzZPdvzHRXj-xozSLxUPcn8JI0-LUvaXIZGji9159DhTm6UHyjT4VCjdNIMgx7hzEWiMc_OPMDRgSPlp2TFuq5EU6lVl_Fc1lVuulrAZ1GMRBeizQJqv4VV5P60gdS7kIz4=" /></i>. In <i>The Sign of the Four</i>, Holmes concludes, "All is well that ends well." This is from from Act IV, Scene 4. And in "The Empty House," Holmes states "'Journeys end in lovers meetings,' as the old play says," from Act II, Scene 3.<br />
<br />
The reason the date was chosen is that in Christianity, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6">January 6th</a> is the Feast of the Epiphany, or officially the twelfth day of Christmas. I suppose if we were being truly technical about it, the twelfth night of Christmas would fall on January 5th...<br />
<br />
In addition, William S. Baring-Gould in his <a href="http://amzn.to/14hLF8i"><i>The Annotated Sherlock Holmes</i></a>, posited that because Holmes was a little cranky on the morning of January 7th - the date on which <i>The Valley of Fear</i> began - he had a hangover, induced by birthday celebrations the evening prior.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And why 165? Scholars have fixed the year of Sherlock Holmes's birth to 1854 by virtue of a line in "His Last Bow" when he was described as "a tall gaunt man of sixty."<br />
